Here they are, my babies. Ariel has silky sepia-grey long hair with fuzzy light grey hair underneath. She's a fluff ball. She's also a scientist, with a concentration in gravity. She causes things to submit to gravity, and observes them very closely. She jumps down and sniffs them carefully to gather more data. Then she walks away, no doubt to write up her report. This first picture was taken when she was pretty young. They're both about 17 now. Isaac is my snuggle-bug little guy. I got him when Ariel decided to take a stroll outside without mentioning it to me, and was gone for 7 awful days. When she was found, she'd lost 20% of her body weight. She *runs* from open doors now. She despised Isaac for about 6 months, tolerated him for about 2 years, and they adore each other now. They are my littlest hearts.

Here are my kitties exploring my then brand-new bedside table. Mira is the Siamese-type thing on the bottom, and Ri (short for Orion, but alas, a fierce hunter he is not) is on the top. He's very sweet, but kind of a wuss. They have two states: running around like crazy and sleeping. Most of my pictures are of them sleeping.



I got them separately, but they are only about 2 months apart in age. They're about 2.5 years old now. They still play like kittens, and do have their tiffs, but mostly they seem to like each other.

Ri + mice = bliss

Ri looks so much like my Isaac in that bottom picture!

He does! Isaac has beautiful green eyes. Ri's are orange/gold...just like the rest of him.

I love cats. Mine have never shown any interest in sinks, however. Ri has this love/hate relationship with water, and likes to play with the water dish until he splashes himself. Then he hisses and runs away. He might kill me in my sleep if I tried to put him in a sink...I might test this anyway.

muahahahahaha....

Yes, Isaac does have beautiful green eyes. Ariel's are that pale yellow. A leetle bit spooky sometimes. Especially when she gives that penetrating, full-on stare, as in the picture! I think she's a very old spirit.

Isaac re-discovers running water occasionally, and it's as if it were the first time he'd seen it. "WHOA! Faucet! HEY! Flushing toilet! Cool, man!"
